 $5,000,000,000,000 / 500  =  $ 10,000,000,000

Since Thomas Donaldson has pointed out that we have fewer than 500
hard-core cryonicists, the individual contributions must be somewhat
larger.  This is probably a blessing in disguise, since it will be
easier to get 300 people to agree on an objective than 500.
